The great thing about sneakers for women is that they’re extremely versatile; whether I’m going to the mall or visiting the gym, I can wear the same shoes without having to change them. That saves me extra money.
A good pair of sneakers need to be durable, efficient, and give your feet the proper support. Some sneakers are better for athletes, while others are more tailored toward the casual wearer. These sneakers are all ideal choices if you want a stylish pair on your feet, while also being functional for your everyday activities.
Adidas Women’s Grand Court
“After seeing so much fashion paired with sneakers, and Adidas in particular, I decided to try these. They are really comfortable and look great. The silver stripes go with just about any outfit. I am normally an 8 1/2 and after a store try-on, I decided on the 8’s and they run a little big. But I do wear thin socks with these.” — Amazon Customer
PUMA Women’s Carina Sneaker
“I love these shoes! They fit true to size, and they have a great platform and color. These shoes are nice and comfortable as they are very very supportive for your feet. If you want a pair of white sneaker shoes like these, I highly recommend.” — Rachel
Adidas Women’s Cloudfoam Pure Running Shoe
“Love these shoes!!! I first discovered these at a local shoe store. I’m normally a size 8 or 8.5 depending on the brand of shoe and the 8’s fit me perfectly with thin (or no) socks. If you wear slightly thicker socks, you may want to go up a half size. I promptly wore these for 3 days straight at Disneyland after only wearing them for about a week prior and had zero blisters!! They were so comfortable! When I got back, I returned to the store to buy the other 2 colors but was disappointed to find out that they did not have my size in stock. Amazon comes through once again! Found the other colors in my size with free Prime shipping. One other thing to note, these are more of a slip on shoe. There are laces but you don’t need to undo them to get the shoe on or off. There is no tongue like a normal shoe so the laces seem more like a decoration. They can tighten the shoe somewhat though if you feel that are too lose.” — Albert
Skechers Women’s Summits Sneaker
“I love these shoes! They are comfy and light weight! As a teacher, I am on my feet all day. I have been looking for the perfect ‘teacher shoe’, and this is it! My only wish is that there were some air holes or something to keep your feet cooler. My grade is a 99% A!” — Amazon Customer
Reebok Women’s F/S Hi Sneaker
“When the doc told my friend that her foot pain was because of aging issues, and weak ankles, he suggested she transition to high tops. My friend was really suffering from foot/ankle pain and not wishing to see her suffer any longer then necessary (at this time Pandemic had all the non essential stores closed like shoe stores) I plopped her down in front of the puter, and told her to pick. I would pay for them. 2 days later, they came. After a day, she was all smiles. The high tops worked wonders. The sneaker bottom is like a bunch of little suction cups. It’s pretty good on ice, snow, grease and water coated slick surfaces. The bottom will wear out before the rest of the shoe. Overall, worth every penny.” — Paul
Reebok Women’s Classic Nylon Sneaker
“Having just recovered from surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon, I have been struggling to find a shoe that provides the support I need but is also comfortable overall. I think I finally found the right ones. These Reeboks are light, have plenty of cushion, but also give me ample heel support so I can walk longer distances without experiencing pain. Very happy with these shoes.” — Kelly
Akk Women’s Walking Tennis Shoes
“Love these shoes. They are so comfy and yet light weight. I am a nurse and I need to standing for a long time. Since wearing this shoe, I still don”t feel foot pain after finishing the day’s work.” — Amazon Customer
Skechers Women’s Flex Appeal 2.0 Sneaker
“I’m a nurse and I’m on my feet A LOT. These shoes are super comfortable! My feet don’t hurt after work, despite standing for eight hours a day. This is the third time I’ve bought this particular brand. I just replace them annually. Highly recommend!” — Michele
DOUSSPRT Slip On Walking Shoes
“They have a lot of support. I work in a warehouse and am on my feet from the time I arrive to the time I leave, I need great support or my feet pay the price. These shoes are great, they hug my feet and have great support! And they are very stylish!” — Terri
Fila Women’s Disruptor II Sneaker
“I love these. My husband kept calling them orthopedic old ladies shoes but I didn’t care!! They’re so cute!! I made him do a photo shoot of me wearing them just because ^.^ they remind me of spice girls platform shoes and that’s like exactly why I got them- totally living up my 90’s girl dreams! I’ve already received so many compliments!! And no I haven’t rolled my ankles nor do I think these will let it happen (the sole seems really well footed).” — Shawna
Superga Women’s Platform Fashion Sneaker
“These shoes are incredibly cute! I was concerned about so many people having issues with sizing and being very uncomfortable. I have found the solution guys; Gel heel inserts!! I’m normally a size 7 and only went down half a size with theses (6.5 = 37) they seemed okay but still slightly roomy. On top of that I felt how stiff and flat they made my feet feel. The perfect solution is to get a gel arch insole. This way it takes up that little roomy feel you have at the back and are instantly more comfy! I think if I went down a full size I wouldn’t have had room for gel heel insoles and I’m telling you, you NEED foot support inserts for these babies, otherwise you are going to be uncomfortable. So in conclusion, go down only a half a size, leaving room for heel support inserts or full arch and heel supports insoles. Enjoy!” — Dina
